B'hoys!

B'hoys! is a detailed game system based entirely upon Herbert Asbury's The Gangs of New York . Emphasizing the fluid nature of mob vs. mob street-fighting, and the dynamics of such contests, the rules use specially designed Action Cards to determine order of movement and cue test points for "Resolve."

Rules cover Gangsters, Police and Soldiers as well as "Laundry Guards," Barricades, "Banshee Screams," Eye Gouging, Biting Attacks, and a wide range of brawling techniques.

B'hoys! is now available exclusively from TVAG.

An entirely novel approach to 1:1 wargames, representing street brawls and full blown riots between gangs in the narrow streets, players can now experience truly anarchic combat with Clubs, Knives, "Barking Irons," Slung-Shots, Brickbats, Pole Arms, Pitchforks, and Muskets. Get close enough, and the "Sluggers," "Bruisers," and "Blokes" of your gangs can grapple with Eye-gouging, Biting, Bladed, Clawing, Stomping, and Bare Hands attacks, all under a warm rain of "Irish Confetti."

When things get wild enough, patrols of "Crushers" (the Police) can arrive with Nightsticks and pistols to hammer the crowds back. And, when the situation goes completely mad, soldiers of Volunteer Militias--or even Federal Troops--will show up with muskets and fixed bayonets!
